INVITATION: Next Generation of Chinese Leadership: What Does the Future Hold? (Sydney)

Scott-Bradley Pearce — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 03:17:25 +0000

With a rapid economic downturn, the Chinese Communist Party looks suddenly vulnerable. With a legitimacy built around maintaining its breakneck pace of growth, the Party now faces potential social unrest and massive public dissatisfaction as jobs are lost and economic growth plunges. What challenges does the current leadership face? And what shoes will the next generation of leaders have to fill? Asialink and PricewaterhouseCoopers are pleased to invite you to a briefing with Professor Cheng Li, Brookings Institution, and Dr Pradeep Taneja, University of Melbourne.

Professor Li is Director of Research at the John L. Thornton China Center, an initiative of the Brookings Institution. He is also a director of the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations, and focuses on the transformation of political leaders, generational change and technological development in China. Professor Li is visiting Australia for the week of the

13th of July.

Dr Pradeep Taneja s current research interests focus on the relationship between politics and business in China, the political implications of Chinas energy security policy and the rise of China as a regional and global power.
